Traditional Iranian food in Lahidjan, Gilan province

After breakfast naturally comes lunch, and in Iran, every meal is a very serious business.

You guessed it, after the delicacies I wrote about in my previous post, we had the nerve to seat for lunch too. Madi’s mom prepared the most delicious treats of Iranian food taken from traditional Gilaki cuisine, but for as mouthwatering as they were, for the sake of honest reporting, I managed to take pictures of the whole meal before we tucked into it. Enjoy the treat!

What a feast! That saffron rice with sour berries and crunchy roasted potatoes looks so good and I’m sure it tasted delicious, I’m positive that it would be the kind of dish I would easily eat all the time.

Just stumble upon your site and your blog and I have to say it was such a treat :)
I’m from Kerman, living in the USA for more than 25 years.
Reading your blog about Yazd and Shiraz was so refreshing and amazing.
Thank you for taking me back home :) <3
